Chairperson'sMessage
iCreate continues to be resilient in its performance in 2021 despite the challenges of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the operational changes we have had to make to accommodate the global shift to a more remote environment.
Digital transformation remains a key component of our core strategy to be the leading digital and creative course providers in Jamaica and the Americas. As the workforce moves to more remote work, some of the new approaches to work – especially the way people learn – will continue to change at pace and iCreate will be right there.

As we look to the future, our successful digital transformation and mergers and acquisition strategies, supported by our strong governance, will be an outstanding feature in the achievement of our goals.
Growth Strategy
iCreate's devotion to creative learning for the digital era remains steady. Even in tough economic times and the COVID-19 pandemic, iCreate has grown by focusing on cross-selling and acquisitions and will continue to hold to this strategy.
FINANCING & DEBT RESTRUCTURE
To ensure we had the cash resources to trade through the continued difficulties caused by COVID-19 and stagnant growth and build on the significant progress made, iCreate raised JMD 50.5m and JMD 18.3m from Dequity Financials and Kintyre Holdings, respectively.
Board Appointment
We were delighted to appoint Ivan Carter in December 2021 to the Board of the Company as a Chairman of the Audit and Finance Committee. Ivan joined the Board and has acted as Chief Financial Officer for Sagicor Group. Ivan has a wealth of experience in financial leadership roles.
